Preserve Your Memories

I don't know about you, but taking lots of photos isn't the problem, it's what to do with them after you take them. Digital photography has made it a little easier, although lots of photos just stay on my camera forever. BUT, I have boxes and boxes of printed photos from when my kids were young that I always swear I am going to get to. And I worry if i don't get to them soon, they will be lost. That's where iMemories comes in. They will Digitize and Organize your collection of memories

It looks like it is really simple and easy to do--I am going to give it a try. If any of you have used them before, I would love to hear your comments. From the "How it works" section of their site, it looks to be simple.

Valentine's Day Fun!

Over dinner the other night i was chatting with some friends who said they never got around to sending out holiday cards and they wre bummed--so I suggested they do Photo Valentine's Day cards. I shared with them a few favorites I have come across and they did not know there were so many options. SOOO, I thought I would share them with you all as well. I found cute ones on ThreeSixtyFivecards.com, Minted.com and TinyPrints.com. They all have a good variety--some photo cards to get that latest shot of the kids out to family and friends or more simple cards for classroom exchanges for the kids--so much cuter than the generic tear apart ones from the grocery store. I just wish my kids were still young enough to do valentine exchanges--doesn't happen in middle school and high school. I know everyone is trying to save these days but sometimes its fun just to splurge...check them out.

Don't Forget to Say Thank You!

Wow, it's January 6th already...hard to believe how fast it all goes. The decorations have all come down and presents are already put away in their new homes, but let's not forget to say Thank You to those that remembered us this holiday. I think it is especially important for kids to learn now to say Thank You! And teaching them the art of writing Thank You notes can be a great life long skill. And it can be fun too. Check out the cute kids' stationary at Minted.com. I mentioned the great New Years cards from Minted.com in my last post, but I had not seen them in person yet. The folks over at Minted were nice enough to send me some samples and they are BEAUTIFUL. The paper is nice thick quality paper and the printing was bright and clear. I would definitely recommend them now that I have seen some examples live. Here are just a few examples of their cute Kids Stationary, and they have many other options too. What kids wouldn't love to have their own personal stationary....even having to write thank you notes wouldn't seem so bad. I have been doing it with my 3 kids for years. Check them out www.minted.com.

Minted Offering 10% off New Years Cards

Yesterday I posted some great ideas from Tiny Prints for New Years cards but I also came across some other really cute designs at Minted. I have not purchased anything from Minted.com, so I can't really comment on their quality or service yet but I do LOVE some of their designs, so I thought I would share them in case folks were looking for something new. And they are offering 10% off their New Years cards using code; NEWYEARSALE. Just another fun site to check out....Happy New Years to you all!

Send New Years Wishes Instead

So, if you are one of those folks that just never quite got around to sending holiday cards--I know I barely did. You can send a New Year's greeting instead. Tiny Prints has some really great looking New Years cards both with photos and without. I am a big fan of the photo cards because I know I love getting them and seeing how my friends' families have grown over the years.

Here are a couple of my favorites from Tiny Prints...
